Castro picked up the save in Monday's 9-8 win over the Phillies. He allowed one run on two hits and no walks while striking out one over one inning.

Castro's seventh save of the season wasn't particularly smooth, but the Diamondbacks' two-run lead heading into the ninth inning provided him just enough cushion. The right-hander has had a shaky start to June, giving up six runs across three innings. With the Diamondbacks still taking a closer-by-committee approach at the back end of their bullpen, fantasy managers can't count on Castro continuing to get consistent save opportunities if he keeps giving up runs.

Strahm didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 9-8 loss to the Diamondbacks after striking out one and allowing three runs on four hits and one walk over 2.2 innings.

Strahm has had a rough last couple of appearances, as he's given up six runs over his last 3.2 innings. The Phillies have used the southpaw as both a starter and reliever this year, yielding mixed results. On a positive note, his 1.09 WHIP is his lowest mark since 2020.

Carasiti picked up a save in the Rockies' 4-3 extra-inning win over the Red Sox on Monday. He allowed an unearned run on one hit in his lone inning of relief.

Carasiti allowed the "ghost runner" to score in the 10th inning but still closed out the narrow win. He's turned in 13 consecutive frames without allowing an earned run after getting tagged with six runs in his season debut May 21. He lowered his ERA to 3.86 with a 7:6 K:BB through 14 innings.

Lange (4-2) tossed a scoreless 10th inning and earned a win over Atlanta on Monday.

Lange needed just four pitches to work a clean inning and earned the win after Detroit walked off in the 10th. He was crushed with seven runs over his previous three outings but clearly the Tigers still trust him in a late-inning role. He's sporting a 3.29 ERA and 37:14 K:BB through 28 appearances.

Iglesias allowed three runs on five hits in one inning of work during Monday's loss to Detroit. He struck out two and was charged with a blown save.

Tasked with holding on to a 5-2 lead, Iglesias coughed up three runs and allowed the Tigers to eventually win in the 10th inning. He was riding an 11.1-inning scoreless streak since his last blown save May 14. Iglesias saw his ERA jump to 4.02 with an 18:6 K:BB across 15.2 frames.

Doval walked two batters and allowed a hit in 1.1 scoreless frames while earning a save over the Cardinals on Monday.

Doval wasn't at his best Monday, tossing just 13 of his 27 pitches for strikes, but still managed to pick up his 17th save of the year. He's converted 14 consecutive saves since the start of May while dropping his season ERA to 1.86 through 29 frames. During that stretch, he's allowed just two earned runs with a 26:6 K:BB over 18 innings.

Yarbrough (head) will throw a three-inning live batting practice Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

The Royals placed Yarbrough on the injured list May 8 after he got hit in the head by a line drive, and they later shifted him to the 60-day IL. He won't be eligible to return until July, but Wednesday's session will be useful in determining next steps for the 31-year-old southpaw.

Taylor (shoulder) will throw live batting practice Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

After throwing a bullpen session Sunday, Taylor will progress to facing live hitters for the first time since landing on the IL in late May. He will likely require a few more throwing sessions and a rehab assignment before making his return.

Staumont (neck) played catch Monday and will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

MRI results revealed Staumont's neck strain wasn't as severe as initially thought, so the 29-year-old reliever began throwing slightly ahead of schedule. He will likely require multiple bullpen sessions before heading on a rehab assignment, meaning he's likely to return near the beginning of July.

The Mariners selected Adcock from Double-A Arkansas on Monday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

With Penn Murfee (elbow) headed back to the injured list, the Mariners will call on Adcock to fill Murfee's spot in the bullpen. The 26-year-old righty has been impressive in Double-A, logging a 2.08 ERA, 0.62 WHIP, two saves and 13 strikeouts in 13 innings across 12 appearances. Robbie Ray (elbow) was moved to the 60-day injured list to make room for Adcock on the 40-man roster.
